About the Item

Symbolist school, follower of Eugene Carriere, "The Mother's Kiss," unsigned oil on canvas, early 20th century. Fascinating and magnetic painting, extremely decorative. The first thing that strikes one about this painting is the reddish-brown hue from which the barely accented figures in black emerge: a mother's kiss to a daughter, whom she holds tenderly in her arms. These figures are barely sketched but, paradoxically, sharp. This kind of painting brings to mind the paintings of Eugene Carriere, such as The Young Mother (1879) or "Mother's Kiss, Mother and Two Children" (1892): art of suggestion par excellence, that of Eugène Carrière, his highly personal style evolving more and more toward a monochromaticism made of earthy ochre that would also inspire the Picasso of the early manner. Misunderstood by the general public he was appreciated by Gauguin and Denis. At the dawn of the new century, between academicism and modernism, he became a leading artist in the then modern painting field. He was among the leaders of the "secessionist" movement that led to the founding of the National Society. In 1899 he taught at the Carrier Academy attended by Matisse and Derain, who found there a total freedom of expression that furthered their education, as did the Fauves, who exhibited at the Autumn Salon, for whom Eugène Carrière fought so hard and of whom he became the first president. Probably the artist who painted this canvas was one of Carrier's students. Very good condition, no restorations present, in a white lacquered period frame.

"Portrait of Elegant" Oil on wood Expressionist Hague School Signed
Located in Pistoia, IT
Martin Borgord (1869-1935) Active in California, New York, Paris, Holland "Portrait of an Elegant Woman," oil painting on wood signed lower right and dedicated to Madame Merlet. Attended: San Francisco Art Association School of Design, Académie des Beaux-Arts de Paris, Académie Julian de Paris, New York School of Art "In the past I worked on light and shadow effects. Now I paint exclusively for unusual effects and color harmonies." It is with these words that Martin Borgord, a Norwegian-born but naturalized American painter, interviewed by a journalist from the Hartford Courant, explains our painting.Straddling the line between Impressionism and Expressionism, the elegant lady loses the sharpness of detail, blending with light and color in quick, dense brushstrokes. Excellent state of preservation.Presented in antique carved and silvered wooden frame. It has a regular Fine Arts export certificate.
